#human lps

I accidentally spent way longer on this than I meant to so... I'm sharing it here. A little design concept for human Littlest Pet Shop characters if Blythe hadn't come into the picture.

The concept is pretty similar in size/structure to some modern dolls like Yummiland or LOL babies (or heck, even Bratz Babyz) but with a more kid-ish, gender neutral aesthetic and sculpted clothes. The LPS line has captured the girl market, but I think part of the appeal of many animal toys is you can gender and name them however you want.

These are roughly the same size as the original LPS, so their articulation is limited to bobbleheadedness and possibly a twist torso. I don't think the heads/bodies being swapped should be part of playing, because they'd be too easy to lose.

Fabric accessories can be swapped with the pets. The emphasis here is that these aren't fashion dolls, they're just mini dolls. No clothes swapping needed. I feel like that is way more cohesive with the kind of line LPS originally was.

WE CAN BE WHO WE WANNA BE 🍎

Woohoo! It’s been five years since I’ve actually last drawn my human version of Russell Ferguson. (See under the cut). This was a much needed redesign. It was fun to tackle this, because it’s still sort of my own take on human Russell, but a lil’ bit more refined.
